You’re Only Human (Second Wind) Lyrics By Billy Joel

    oohooh yeah ooh
    you’re having a hard time and lately you don’t feel so good
    you’re getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood

    it’s alright it’s alright sometimes that’s what it takes
    you’re only human you’re allowed to make your share of mistakes only human oohooh

    you better believe there will be times in your life
    when you’ll be feeling like a stumbling fool
    so take it from me you’ll learn more from your accidents
    than anything that you could ever learn at school

    refrain
    don’t forget your second wind
    sooner or later you’ll get your second wind

    oohooh yeah
    it’s not always easy to be living in this world of pain
    you’re gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again

    it’s alright it’s alright though you feel your heart break
    you’re only human you’re gonna have to deal with heartache
    you’re only human

    4
    just like a boxer in a title fight
    you got to walk in that ring all alone oh oh oh oh
    you’re not the only one who’s made mistakes
    but they’re the only thing that you can truly call your own

    refrain
    don’t forget your second wind
    wait in that corner until that breeze blows in

    you’ve been keeping to yourself these days
    ’cause you’re thinking everything’s gone wrong
    sometimes you just want to lay down and die
    that emotion can be so strong
    but hold on
    ’til that old second wind comes along

    only human oohooh
    only human

    you probably don’t want to hear advice from someone else
    but i wouldn’t be telling you if i hadn’t been there myself
    it’s alright it’s alright ssometimes that’s what it takes hahaha
    we’re only human we’re supposed to make mistakes only human oohooh

    but i survived all those long lonely days oh oh oh oh
    when it seemed i did not have a friend
    ’cause all i needed was a little faith
    so i could catch my breath and face the world again

    refrain
    dont forget your second wind
    sooner or later youll feel that momentum kick in
    one more time
    dont forget your second wind
    sooner or later youll feel that momentum kick in

    dont forget your second wind only human oohooh
    dont forget your second wind only human
    second wind
    dont forget your second wind only human ooh ooh
    only human
